Im happy you have found OCF to help your brother. There are several members from Australia. Never know, he could have a very knowledgeable OCF member in his area. We will help your brother get thru this! I hope to see him as a member soon. It is a rough disease to battle but it can be done! I hope he has a good support system where he is and that he forces himself to get extra calories and hydration every single day. That will make a difference in how he feels. est wishes to your brother with his treatments!
